title: Validity of the College Maladjustment Scale for identification of distressed students.
abstract: Validity of the College Maladjustment Scale for identification of distressed students was estimated against scores on the Langner Symptom Survey for 298 undergraduates. A cut-off score of 20 rather than one of 15, gave a true-positive rate of 85% and a true-negative rate of 76%.
